WELCOME Air Traffic Control Presentation at Austin Executive Airport March 8, 2016
Mark D Fellner • • Joined the FAA in 2009 First Facility in New York State Been at KAUS since beginning of 2014 Flying since 1999, Private Pilot Flying experiences with ATC Knowledge discrepancies
Topics For Tonight • ATC requirements between IFR and VFR. • VFR aircraft departing EDC conflicting with Austin Arrivals and Departures (North Flow vs. South Flow). • Videos of Traffic Alert/RA Examples. • Airborne IFR pickup and VFR F/F from ground
The Facts • VFR traffic departing EDC not in contact with ATC can conflict with traffic arriving or departing AUS. • When AUS is landing runway 17 R/17 L, west bound and north bound departures from EDC can conflict with traffic very quickly.
The Facts Cont’d • This requires close attention from ATC and can distract ATC away from other potential conflicts. • Not all VFR aircraft fly in a straight line and climb/descend as they fly • Traffic Alerts become our number one priority.
Terminal Separation Requirements • IFR v. IFR Separation? 3 NM horizontal or 1, 000 ft vertical • IFR v. VFR Separation? Target Resolution (“Green Between”) or 500 ft vertical Why is this important?
Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) • Not all aircraft have TCAS • TCAS RA can start as much as 800 feet vertical. (depending on sensitivity settings, rate of climb/descent etc. ) • RA usually requires re-sequencing of the aircraft and additional work load for ATC.

Best Practices
If Austin Is Landing To The South Follow the AFD.
If Austin Is Landing North • Stay outside of 10 miles. • If able stay below 2500 feet. Austin Departures are climbing to 4000 on departure. • Contact AUS APCH as soon as practical. • To the West on 119. 0 • To the East on 127. 22
If You Do Not Want VFR ATC Services
Monitor Approach Frequencies as Stated in AIM and AFD • AIM Para 7− 5− 2. VFR in Congested Areas • A high percentage of near midair collisions occur below 8, 000 feet AGL and within 30 miles of an airport. When operating VFR in these highly congested areas, whether you intend to land at an airport within the area or are just flying through, it is recommended that extra vigilance be maintained and that you monitor an appropriate control frequency. Normally the appropriate frequency is an approach control frequency. By such monitoring action you can “get the picture” of the traffic in your area. When the approach controller has radar, radar traffic advisories may be given to VFR pilots upon request. • • REFERENCE− AIM, Paragraph 4− 1− 15 , Radar Traffic Information Service
IFR Pick Ups • Can conflict with traffic landing AUS. • We may not be able to respond right away or we may not be able to issue an IFR clearance. • IFR route most likely not direct. • By the time we can respond you might be miles from the clearance route. This may require extensive vectors and require the use of lower altitudes.
Best Practices • Call for clearance prior to departure. • Use clearance delivery frequency 126. 02 • By phone: 512 -369 -7865 • VFR Flight following available from the ground • Check status prior to departure.
Presidential TFR • March 11, 2016 • 30 Mile TFR on landing and takeoff. • Movable TFR for motorcade.
Facility Tours • AUS Facility tours welcomed and encouraged • Typically Monday – Friday 0800 -1600 hrs, however exceptions can be made (24 -hour notice appreciated) • Contact: 512 -369 -7800 Mon-Fri -7841 Sat/Sun Or mfellner 84@gmail. com
Thank You • EDC for the use of the facility. • SAT FSDO for their presentation. • Pilots for meeting with us and making our skies safer.
Safety is a group effort!
